Martha 'Matilda' Witherington (Dublin, 1775) eloped with future revolutionary Theobald Wolfe-Tone at 16, lost him to a British prison at 23, spent 20 years fending for herself and her one remaining son in post-revolutionary Paris. The restoration of her tombstone in 1998 provoked the excavation of the story of this pragmatic revolutionary.
